First the location: it’s excellent. Metro station is just near the front door and bus station 10 meters aside. There are only 4 stations away from the Ramblas. I’ve seen that some reviewers prefer to reside much closer to Ramblas. I think it’s not wise: there are a lot of noise and bustle, and at night it’s not a nice place to walk around. And of course it’s much expensive. So the location of the Catalonia Plaza is perfect: close to everything, but not within the tumult and commotion. Our room faced the Piazza Espana, the view is great, and the windows are very isolated, so the noise did not bother us at all.
The staff is very friendly and nice, speaking very well English and always ready to assist you.
The rooms are maintained very well, the janitress cleans even twice a day. The room and bathroom are big enough for a couple.
The food is excellent; the breakfast buffet is rich and delicious.
I definitely will stay here again.

The other reviewers have pretty much covered it accurately - but I stay here because it is a great location, and their car park takes a Range Rover with no problem which is not true of many european subterranean parking facilities.
Not one of the staff smiled once despite my best efforts in Spanish or English.
Cafe food was a bizarre mixture of things - maybe just down to regional cuisine expectations. However it was not particularly nice quality either.
You could do worse!

Stayed at this hotel at the end of Feb/beginning of March 2008 as we were in Barcelona for their marathon - for which the hotel is the perfect location being by the start/finish and near the Expo/Registration centre. Reception staff efficient and helpful. Room was fine. The aircon did not work ( previous comments have mentioned this) which was a disappointment given the quality of everything else. Breakfast buffet was very good - a wide variety and plenty of it. We were on the 4th floor and could still hear the underground metro. Had a very good meal in the hotel restaurant on our last night (from their menu of the day). Would stay there again.
